Half Moon and Z-Arts presents: Grandad Anansi

Abi and her Grandad tell each other Anansi folktales.  They play games as they work together in the garden among the beautiful flowers and tasty vegetables.  As they plant memories, they share secrets and develop a bond that nothing can break. Grandad is as smart and mischievous as the wily Anansi legend

Can he find a way to tell his granddaughter about his plans to return to Jamaica, his beloved homeland?

Join our intrepid characters in this humorous and heartfelt inter-generational adventure, as they step into the unexpected. With evocative live music, Grandad Anansi is an uplifting tale of love, courage and letting go.
